[I]This 1973 photo of five children playing in a Detroit suburb has gone viral on the Internet. The children were Rhonda Shelly, 3 (from left), Kathy Macool, 7, Lisa Shelly, 5, Chris Macool, 9, and Robert Shelly, 6.[/I][/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]In late July 1973, Joseph Crachiola was wandering the streets of Mount Clemens, Mich., a suburb of Detroit, with his camera. As a staff photographer for the Macomb Daily, he was expected to keep an eye out for good feature images — "those little slices of life that can stand on their own."

Resisting the urge to smile.
Why is this so special? Is it because it's in the 70's and different races are getting along or is it because it's in Detroit and anyone is getting along at all?

yes
Then they grew up to become drug dealers.
The 4th kid along looks so out of place it's like the shades don't match.
oh shit it took me about 40 seconds of staring at the picture to notice the one behind the shopping cart
is a nice picture, but I've seen better

You know there's five kids in the picture, right?

To the guy that rated him dumb. . .It's okay. He means the white kids.

Haha I legitimately didn't see that kid.
Oh god there's a stereotype joke here somewhere.
children don't see by race, They learn it from others and what news they read or see on tv.
If they aren't holding each other at gunpoint like some quentin tarantino movie then i won't be smiling
Oh and a dramatic movie title and line somewhere on it
[QUOTE=katbug;41515803]You know there's five kids in the picture, right?[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I noticed the kid behind the trolly.
Yeah, I'm sure the supermarket's owner whose's cart has been stolen will smile too

From what I hear, at a time the "Black community" was really just anyone who was poor. You could be a white person and still be treated like trash.
It's all very nice :'^)

Yes but the whites were still regarded much more highly
Read how to kill a mockingbird
That cart has no lower shelf. How did people buy catfood and sodas in the 70s??
pretty sure it looks like that girl is stealing that shopping cart.
